Installation Guide

Important Note: Make sure you have WinRAR installed on your computer. This will allow you to extract the downloaded files from their RAR packs. If you prefer video tutorials, scroll down to the bottom.

Please make sure to follow the exact instructions to avoid complications.

Step 4: Double-click the downloaded file top open it. Now click the Extract To button in the top left corner of the WinRAR window. Now navigate and extract to the following path:\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods

It will ask you if you wish to overwrite/replace the files. Click yes to all.

Step 5: Go to your Steam Library and right-click on Medieval II Total War, select Properties, and then Set Launch Options. Insert the following string:--features.mod=mods/Third_Age_Reforged

Step 6: Once you have done this, you will be able to launch the game by choosing the first option when launching the game on Steam. The option will simply say "Play Medieval II: Total War". This will override the default Medieval II game, so if you wish to launch the original game after installing the mod, simply remove the string from the Launch Options you inserted in Step 5.

as much as i hate to admit it....i didnt follow the instructions to the letter...re downloaded everthing and started again made sure i extracted to the right files and now it works haha dont know that i did wrong but i assume i put the files in mods instead of "medieval 2 total war"

I've got the same problem. I just installed Third Age then Reforged, and I followed the instructions. I spent like an hour trying to get this to work, but it keeps exiting the game as soon as I press play. :(

yea, this is standalone, not a patch... its impossible to make ti a patch, since to delet files ina apatch doesnt work, (the problem with the scenarios was the ui loading screen, etc were bugged, so i deleted them. you will ahve to install this 0.6 over a fresh copy of ta 3.2 vanilla im afraid.

Like seriously, why can't people just read the instructions. Synn and Kuro know what they talk about. Rename a copy of Third Age to "Third_Age_Reforged" and then drag the extracted folder into mods, just mods....

you have to make sure you follow the instructions... i will be releasing a YouTube video in a couple days when i release the next patch, for those of you who some how got confused when installing it...

i just wanted to inform you all, that a couple minor bugs (not game breaking) are found from having stapled the mod together in the opposite order before release, they will be fixed in a patch which will be released in a few days, but for now enjoy the mod, everything seems to be working accordingly, stability wise. ^^
